Liverpool optimistic on Edwards as they prepare for epic City encounter
March is a crucial month as FSG want a final answer as soon as possible. Conversations are ongoing and Liverpool are optimistic but it’s not done yet at this stage.
In case Edwards accepts, I can also see Richard Hughes being part of the new Liverpool structure.
The match on Sunday against Man City will be a fantastic game, I’m sure. Two incredible managers, two incredible teams, many stars.
I think it will be an open game, could be a draw at the end, but Anfield will be pushing in a special way.
I can’t wait for this one.
Haaland happy at City but won’t guarantee long-term stay
“This is going to be a big headline. You can report that one but you should make sure also that all the other things I say in the press conference are reported too. I’m very happy at Manchester City but you never know what happens tomorrow.”
That line is quite clear guys. I think what we’ve heard Haaland say there is certainly really honest, and it’s the reality at the moment.
It’s difficult for him to sit in on a press conference and promise he will play for Manchester City for his entire life. He certainly can’t guarantee that so I think it’s really fair to mention that sentence.
The atmosphere in the dressing room has always been amazing between him and all the other stars.
Things can still happen in the future but at the moment there is nothing ongoing in terms of discussions, nothing ongoing in terms of negotiations, but in the future – and it could be years – Erling Haaland could be part of the transfer market again.
Newcastle pushing hard for Joelinton agreement
Newcastle’s contract strategy over the next few months is going to be crucial.
For Joelinton, the proposal is on the table and they want to push hard to keep him as he’s considered an important part of the squad.
Then, Newcastle will discuss their summer plans around May, as soon as they know what’s happening with regards to European football.
No confirmation on €150m Leão bid from City
Honestly I’ve zero information on the story linking Man City with a €150m move for Milan’s Rafael Leão guys.
Absolutely no confirmation on any side, no talks taking place, no bid being prepared in March for sure.
Zero.
The situation is quiet at this stage. We will see what happens in the summer with City plans in general but for Leão, it’s quiet now.
Not the right time for Lukaku to make plans
We still don’t know Chelsea’s plans, whether AS Roma can afford him with their Financial Fair Play strategy based on Champions League football or not…
Lukaku can only wait now and focus on helping Roma do special things in Italy and in Europe.
That’s why he wanted to stay silent in TV interviews after the Europa League win over Brighton.
Don’t be too hard on De Zerbi
He has a release clause valid in the summer so we will have to wait and see on that one.
After the 4-0 loss to Roma, it’s easy to criticise him. It was a very bad game… but we should also remind ourselves what he did to bring Brighton to these European nights.
Sometimes football is too ‘fast’ and people forget about the hard work that’s been done for years.
PSG haven’t demanded Mbappé be benched
Many of you are asking me recently why Luis Enrique decided to sub Kylian Mbappé, and whether it had anything to do with Real Madrid.
The answer is that, from what I’m told, the president of the club didn’t tell Luis Enrique to sub the player or that ‘we don’t want him to play.’ That is not the message coming directly from the club.
Luis Enrique himself, as he’s also confirmed in public, wants to try other things. Something new and different, especially in Ligue Un.
Saudi interest in Casemiro remains
They were interested in the midfielder last summer, and then again around October/November some calls were made to intermediaries to understand the situation.
It’s important to mention that there was never a concrete proposal put to Manchester United.
Let’s see what will happen with Casemiro in the next months, but interest from Saudi is still there so let’s see if they will return with a proposal.
It is a must win for liverpool to keep their title hopes alive.
Haaland is still committed to manchester city.
Haaland is happy at man city, he won’t leave soon.
